Explanation

The legislative power of the Parliament is comprehensive under the Indian Constitution. Statement 1 refers to residuary powers under Article 248, which grants Parliament exclusive authority to legislate on any matter not enumerated in the Concurrent or State Lists [1]. Statement 2 aligns with Article 252, which allows Parliament to legislate on State List subjects if the legislatures of two or more states pass resolutions deeming it desirable [1]. Statement 3 is supported by Article 253, which empowers Parliament to make laws for the entire territory of India to implement international treaties, agreements, or conventions, even if the subject matter falls within the State List [1]. This provision ensures that international obligations can be met without being hindered by the division of powers. Consequently, all three statements accurately describe the constitutional provisions regarding Parliament's legislative reach.
